How To Make Easy Air Fryer Blueberry Hand Pies

Step One: Start by laying out your pie crusts on a lightly floured surface, using a rolling pin to flatten if needed.

Step Two: Cut out circles from your dough using a round 2-inch cookie cutter, a 2-inch biscuit cutter,  or a glass rim. Continue until you have made all of your dough circles; you can from the dough.

Step Three: Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the blueberry pie filling into the circle of pie dough, ensuring you leave space around the edges.

Step Four: Place the remaining circles on top of the filled ones. Press down the edges gently with your fingers, then use a fork to crimp them shut. This not only seals the pies but also gives a decorative edge.

Step Five: In a small bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush this mixture over the top of each hand pie. If desired, sprinkle with sugar for a sweet crust, use a sharp knife, and cut a couple of small slits into the pastry dough.

Step Six: Once cooked, remove the hand pies from the air fryer and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.

Easy Air Fryer Blueberry Hand Pies Recipe Tips

• Keep Dough Cold: Cold dough is easier to handle and prevents sticking.
• Don’t Overfill: Leave space at the edges to seal pies without filling spilling out.
• Seal Well: Press edges with fingers and crimp with a fork to prevent leaks.
• Add Vent Holes: Small cuts or slits allow steam to escape and avoid soggy filling.
• Brush with Egg White: Creates a golden, shiny crust when air-fried.
• Sprinkle Sugar: Adds crunch and sweetness to the top of the pies.
• Cool Before Glazing: Let pies cool slightly before drizzling glaze for best results.

Storing, Freezing and Make-Ahead Instructions

• Storing: Store cooled blueberry hand pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Refrigerate for up to 4 days to keep the filling fresh and crust crisp.
• Freezing: Freeze unbaked or baked hand pies by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and placing in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before air frying or serving.
• Make-Ahead: Assemble the pies in advance and keep them refrigerated until ready to cook. Brush with egg wash and air fry just before serving for freshly baked results.
